No. No, that really is a bad idea and you should be ashamed of yourself.

Leave my sex life out of this.

Joke's on you! I feel no shame!

What are you talking about?

If it wasn't for shame, I'd have no sex life!

I'm trying to imagine a world where if you vociferously accuse/defend someone on social media, and it turns out they didn't/did do it - that you're banned from all further posts anywhere until you make one apologizing for being vociferously wrong. And then your name everywhere you post has a little superscripted red number that gets incremented by one.

That would be something. I defended a friend once, decades ago, as he was accused of botting. I went to bat for him hard. Turns out he was cheating, not a bot, but cheating all the same. I was gutted. Actually, now that I think about that happened again in WoW later, different friend.

Are more people cheating in games, or do I just have bad friends? lol

Anyway.

I went to the bother of digging into PF2, and now they are removing alignment. I'm displeased.

shrug I think it's incredibly hard for people to say, "I'm wrong."

That's why I will post the following every now and then-

This is a comic about the backfire effect.

People get so invested in the argument, that even when there is contrary evidence (especially when there is contrary evidence) they will just double down.

Listen, once they removed real saving throws, I threw in the towel.

I've learned that for some its an identity and not an idea. Its pretty hard to reverse position on an identity.

For me, I'd much rather talk interests in these discussions than positions, but thats how were livin these days.
